i am running an old version of emacs, version 18.49
on a System V machine.  in the file sysdep.c, the function
select() (the similation due to lack of FIONREAD mechanism)
i changed the declaraction
char buf;
to 
unsigned char buf;
since i am reading an APL data stream which contains 256 values.
if the first character was meta, the stored value would
be negative in proc_buffered_data, causing me to miss a value.

i am currently trying to get all the latest GNU software,
so sorry if this is an out_of_date report.
